(Google to find one)Well, let's start with your post - it's so vague, we have no idea if you're referring to a 1-unit or multi-unit property.Also, you state, "I specifically requested to not mention anything regarding different ways of how to collect utility or rent" - yet your post is full of so much fluff that has nothing to do with your actual question! 

This a great place to get started. 

I am just herring started  

Here's more info on what co-hosts can do according to Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/1534 Steve - if I were considering starting a STR/MTR property management company but do not have a real estate license, are there workarounds? 

I am seeing more lenders starting to offer manufactured home loans, that normally did not. 

If you just hire the cheapest or first PMC you speak with and it turns into a bad experience, please don’t assume ALL PMC’s are bad and start trashing PMC’s in general.

It's going to be tough to buy a property without steady W2 income.  8k is a good start, but you might need to keep saving.  

I too never thought about a houseboat community until I owned a houseboat myself and started thinking of ways to make the investment make sense.

I'm now aware of any "lifetime" limits for FHA loans, but you're required to live in the property for at least 1 year after the loan starts.

Good luck getting started - let me know if I can be any help.
